Last season’s finale of the BBC series ended on a poignant note when Demelza (played by Eleanor Tomlinson) returned to her husband Ross Poldark (Aidan Turner) after a devastating tryst with the handsome and intense Lieutenant Hugh Armitage (Josh Whitehouse).
Now, the entire cast and crew are back together for their first read through of season four’s first three episodes.
In a series of Instagram posts, production company Mammoth Screen and the official account for the Cornish period drama have teased fans with hints of the new season.
In one post, the show has released a 360 degrees image of the whole cast around a table, which includes Aidan and Eleanor happily sitting next to each other ready for action as everyone’s favourite couple once more.

There is one in particular that I really think will capture the imagination of viewers who Ross goes up against
Some eagle-eyed fans may even notice a few new faces peppered in the mix.
Meanwhile, head writer Debbie Horsfield recently admitted that one beloved character wasn’t actually supposed to die in season three.
When Captain Henshawe (John Hollingworth), one of Ross’s most trusted advisers, was brutally killed during the team’s quest to rescue Dr. Dwight Enys (Luke Norris), fans were traumatised, particularly as in Winston Graham’s original books the character survives.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, Debbie confessed: “There’s always challenges. There’s so much you can’t really include from the books, for instance have every character. Sometimes you have to make decisions…”

The producer continued: “A perfect example is, the character who goes off to France for the rescue mission and dies, is a character we haven’t shown in the series.”
The showrunner also dropped a hint for what people can expect in the series’ next offering, saying: “There are some fantastic new characters. There is one in particular that I really think will capture the imagination of viewers who Ross goes up against.”
Poldark season four is expected to return Spring 2018.
